1st floor unit of a duplex, 5A, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps up to 6)
Great for couples, Gardencourt is a first-floor duplex tucked away on a private lane off the Beech Hill Road in Historic Somesville. Our quiet rural setting offers the perfect spot to come home to between adventures. Gardencourts entrance is located witthin our fenced-in courtyard at 5A. Beech Mountain, located within Acadia National Park, is just 1 1/2 miles from your front door. The three best swimming/kayaking/canoeing lakes are right around the corner by car or bicycle. Farm-to-table freshness is just 1/3 mile from the home at Beech Hill Farm, an organic farm stand. Enjoy an autumn sunset stroll along Beech Hill Road; drive 15 minutes into Bar Harbor with all that seaside town has to offer, or head the other way and discover 'The Quiet Side' of Mount Desert Island. Gardencourt is perfectly situated to access all the wonders of our beautiful island and Acadia National Park. An evening of child care may be available upon request; all situations considered.
$50 MULTI-WEEK DISCOUNT There is so much to see and do! Our home comfortably accommodates up to 6 people and is tastefully appointed and fully equipped. Gardencourt is pet friendly, so bring the whole family for a week (or two) to remember.

About Priscilla and Vanessa
My husband, John, and I have lived on Mt Desert Island for nearly 40 years. I landed my dream job seven years ago as head gardener at Thuya Garden, a beautiful English border garden in Northeast Harbor. John is a building contractor and has built many beautiful shingle style homes on the island. We love to travel in our Scamp Camper that we've nicknamed 'Shrimp Scampi'.
Priscilla and Vanessa purchased this townhome in 1989
Why Priscilla and Vanessa chose Mount Desert
We fell in love with this beautiful property and incredible location in 1989. John built Garden Court for my mother when she retired to Maine. We now rent the ground floor of her home and we live upstairs. Garden Court sits on one acre of land along a private driveway in a quiet neighborhood. Check out the beautiful sunsets from Beech Hill or hike Acadia National Park trails just one mile away.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have; call 207-244-4090. Also, my daughter in law Vanessa helps me with all aspect of Garden Court (207)669 5060. She would be happy to assist our renters with any help needed.

Guestbook comments from the owner
The "C" family came and conquered MDI for the 4th straight year at Garden Court. I once again thank you.... for allowing us to stay here for our summer vacation. Between getting up to see the sunrise and jigging for squid till 1 am - I think I need a vacation now! Sorry we missed you at the Gardens - we just didn't make it over there this year. John - I owe you some squid next year - my family wolfed them all down. Bruce - good luck getting the mini-bike going. Jonah wants to ride it. We truly feel this is our home away from home and look forward to coming back."

a wonderful time
Anything you need is at Garden Court as well as being close to Bar Harbor if you want to shop. Wake up to deer and wild turkeys in the yard and see them again at night.
We had a great time with our family. Everything was clean and the house was huge enough for 6 people
We had a wonderful time there!
Large space and convenient location
Had a great stay at the garden apartment. The place was large and had everything we needed. Very convenient location. Owners are very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
Cozy and quiet
Great location- quiet but close to the park. Really enjoyed our stay!
adorable property and close to the park
We loved our stay at Garden Court. It's a really nice space inside and the location is nice and quiet. We were only 20 minutes away from Bar Harbor and literally minutes away from great hiking in Acadia National Park. We loved being close to everything and then having a chance to recover in peace at Garden Court. We were literally listening to crickets in the evenings.
It was a very nice place and our hosts were wonderful. I would stay their again.
It was very nice exactly what we needed.
Location
Garden Court is 1 mile from a boat launch and small swimming beach at Long Pond called 'Pond's End' by us locals. Guest privileges to fish for mackerel or launch kayak/canoe from Somesville town dock. All other information will be available to our guests when they arrive at Garden Court.
